Grant Writing & Support

CAWA offers grant support for agricultural producers across the state. We work with farmers and ranchers, ditch companies, special districts, and non-profit partners to organize projects, write and manage grants, and provide technical guidance for projects related to irrigated agriculture since members of the agricultural community often do not have the capacity to apply and manage these types of grants.

In 2025, CAWA secured over $1.3 million dollars in grants for the following projects. Project recipients provided $1,359,687 in matching funds.
